Female
27-year-old
Entry-level career
Jakarta, Indonesia
Rural background
Water management and governance
I would like to understand better the technical side of water sustainability
I wish to go back to the university to complete a PhD
I'm finishing an internship at Jakarta municipality
I look after a cat I found in the street
I strongly believe that traditional knowledge should not be ignored as past folly
I need to continue studying to pursue a career in the field I'm working in
I lack certain skills to complete a PhD
I feel I could bring together academic knowledge and traditional knowledge to be a better professional
Achieve a strong career in water sustainability
Combine traditional knowledge and academic knowledge in water sustainability
Not having enough time to "do it all"
Unsure about the reception of her proposals on traditional knowledge
